Zhao Tianheng glanced back at Mo Chen and said in a high pitch, “His Highness already killed Wu’s envoy, so if we lose, His Majesty might kill us in a fit of anger, and it will probably implicate our families back at the capital.”
“How can you talk about defeat before we even fight them? The troops can't win because of cowards like you!” said Zhang Mang in disdain as he eyed Zhao Tianheng.
Zhao Tianheng glared hard at Zhang Mang with flames of fury in his eyes. Zhang Mang stuck his chest out and roared, “I, Zhang Mang, have fought many battles with His Highness and was never once a wuss.”
Then he walked up and stood behind Mo Chen to pay obeisance to Chu Yunshen as he said, “Your Highness, our troops are strong, have ample food and high morale. Wouldn’t it be great if we could take down Baiyu Pass now that the opportunity is knocking? I agree with General Mo! We should attack them!”
“Your Highness, we can’t be reckless. We have t
“I will return to the capital tomorrow. Mo Chen will be wholly in charge of the barracks!” said Chu Yunshen as he glanced at Mo Chen. Mo Chen bowed and acknowledged, “Yes, Your Highness.” Then before Chu Yunshen stood up, he looked at Zhang Mang, who was standing next to the sand table, and said, “Zhang Mang, don’t get into any conflict with Li Sanchuan.”Zhang Mang hung his head as he clenched his fists tightly and replied, ““Yes, Your Highness.”Chu Yunshen was in the study giving the housekeeper some instruction when Xiaowu knocked on the study room door and said, “Master, the fish has taken the bait. “ “You may leave.”The housekeeper took his leave, and Xiaowu entered the room to say, “Master, he is already imprisoned in the dungeon. Sure enough, he packed his things and intended to escape right after the flogging. We happened to catch him red-handed.”Xiaowu took a package, and spread it on the ta
The horse carriage halted, and Cheng Xiaoxiao woke from her slumber as Xiaowu said brightly from outside the horse carriage, “Master, the post is right up ahead.” “Okay,” said Chu Yunshen calmly with eyes closed. Then he gently patted Cheng Xiaoxiao, who was wriggling around. Xiaowu immediately brought servants to the post and make preparations for the prince. After traveling all day, the moment they arrived at the post, Xiaowu immediately instructed the servants to prepare a sumptuous dinner for the prince. As they waited for dinner to be served, Cheng Xiaoxiao, who had been stuck in the horse carriage all day, could no longer bear to stay put. She escaped through the open door with the baby bird on her head while Chu Yunshen talked to Xiaowu. The moment she left the room, Cheng Xiaoxiao found her way to the kitchen at the post. Fortunately, she was a cat and had a keen sense of smel
The moment Xiao Hua’s mother heard that they weren’t helping her to find her daughter, she immediately wept as she said, “Your Highness, what about my Xiao Hua? She’s still in Huangquan Forest! Your Highness, my husband already died in Huangquan Forest, so my Xiao Hua can’t die in there too!”Cheng Xiaoxiao recalled the moment her mother died when she looked at the woman who had tragically lost her daughter. Then Cheng Xiaoxiao’s eyes turned red. At the thought that the little girl was stuck in this frightening forest now, she turned to look at Chu Yunshen anxiously as well. “Meow.” Cheng Xiaoxiao scratched Chu Yunshen with her paws. Chu Yunshen couldn’t help feeling softhearted when he lowered his head and saw the cat looking at him longingly. “Do you want me to help her?”“Meow.”Then Cheng Xiaoxiao prodded Chu Yunshen with her little head. “Your Highness, please find the charity in your
“Miss Cheng, don’t overthink it. This was a mere accident,” said Hei Wuchang as he smiled and quietly stood up from his seat in his suit and floated to Cheng Xiaoxiao. “Another accident?”The last time they told her there was an accident, it turned her from a human being into a cat. Was there another accident again this time?Just the thought alone made Cheng Xiaoxiao’s back sweat profusely. “There’s nothing to fear, Miss Cheng Xiaoxiao. It’s nothing major this time,” Bai Wuchang’s distinct cold voice rang softly from behind her. A coldness crept up Cheng Xiaoxiao’s neck and made her shiver. She hastily turned to glare angrily at him as she said, “Friend, it’s very ungentlemanly of you to appear from behind suddenly…” Then Cheng Xiaoxiao swallowed her words at the sight of the hamburger, fried chicken, cola, and popcorn on the tray in Bai Wuchang’s hand, “Ah, Is Brother Wuchang getting ready for supper? You sure wo
“In that case, I will go all out!” said Cheng Xiaoxiao as she slammed the contract onto the table. Then she turned to ask Bai Wuchang as she smiled proudly, “Do I sign here?” Bai Wuchang curved his lips and said,“ Yes, that’s right.”Cheng Xiaoxiao signed her name, ‘Cheng Xiaoxiao’, with a flourish on the second party's line on the first page and at the end of the contract. Bai Wuchang looked at her with eyes as dark as the night sky and smiled as he said, “Congrats, Miss! You are now a new member of the Netherworld and our colleague from now on.”“Thanks, thanks,” said Cheng Xiaoxiao. She took the jade pendant from Bai Wuchang with an awe-inspiring and fearless look on her face. After getting the jade pendant back, it felt heftier than it used to be. Then she said, “Hurry up and show me the magical instrument used for ghost catching.”Cheng Xiaoxiao’s lips curved into a smile. What on earth was this inexplicable sen
“Meow!”The moment she found the right opportunity, she hastily leaped from Chu Yunshen’s arms and onto the ground. That sacrificial altar must have caused all these zombies to appear. If they destroyed the sacrificial altar, then these zombies would be like unstrung puppets and incapable of doing a thing. Cheng Xiaoxiao already checked the path to the sacrificial altar and found out where the zombies were located and which way they could go. Now she just had to bring Chu Yunshen and the others there. After all, she was only a cat now, so she still needed their help for some things. “Meow!”So she deliberately darted out from between Xiaowu’s legs. Xiaowu was instantly startled and shouted, “Oh dear, this is no place for you to play.”Then Xiaowu reached out to see that the kitten was sitting on a rock outside the cave and meowing at him nonstop. “Master, I think she wants to
Chu Yunshen, Mu Bai, and Xiaowu prepared to make their way to Changshao County. The village chief and the villagers knelt behind Chu Yunshen and said in unison, “Farewell, Your Highness!”The villagers started talking after Chu Yunshen, and the others when they could no longer be seen. “Although His Highness looks cold, he’s not as abusive in nature as they say!”“Yes, exactly!” chimed the villagers nonstop.When Chu Yunshen and everyone arrived at Changshao County, there was only a single armed soldier standing outside the Changshao County office doors. Chu Yunshen, “Who dares barge into the county office? Don’t you know that the county magistrate doesn’t work on cases today? Come another day!”“How dare you! Do you know who you are pointing your sword at,” asked Xiaowu after he knocked the sword from the soldier’s hands, “This is Prince Jing!”“Prince Jing?”The soldier shiv
The first thing the next morning, after Xiaowu finished checking everything, he came and reported to the prince at his door, “Master, the horse carriage is ready.”“Mhm,” said Chu Yunshen as he scooped up Cheng Xiaoxiao, who was playing with the baby bird next to the bed. He picked up the baby bird with two fingers by its nape and placed it on Cheng Xiaoxiao’s head. Then he said, “Let’s go.” Shortly after Chu Yunshen came out of the post, he saw that hordes of people had already been kneeling there for a while. “Your Highness!” The moment they spotted the prince, they bowed respectfully and greeted him in unison. “Mhm,” said Chu Yunshen calmly in acknowledgment before he headed to the horse carriage. “Your Highness!” greeted Mu Bai immediately when he saw Chu Yunshen coming out with the cat in his arms. Chu Yunshen glanced at Mu Bai and said coldly, “Have you learned how to climb trees yet?”
